Use of semantics in bio-informatics

Abstract

Bioinformatics conceptualizes biological processes in terms of genomics and applies computer science (derived from disciplines such as applied modeling, data mining, machine learning and statistics) to extract knowledge from biological data. This paper introduces the working definitions of bioinformatics and its applications and challenges. We also identify the bioinformatics resources that are popular among bioinformatics analysis, review some primary methods used to analyze bioinformatics problems, and review the data mining, semantic computing and deep learning technologies that may be applied in bioinformatics analysis.
